Its Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey. They didnt givd her any makeup on purpose, so we’d recognize her.

Jessica Freeman

I did not even recognize her! Thanks for pointing it out.

cindiaune

This risk may have worked but 99% of the time her red carpet choices have been heinous lol

Sarah

Toilet-paper hider dress, with weird shoes. I wasn’t happy with the casting for this movie, so maybe that’s why I don’t feel their looks, but I don’t think I’d like her look on anyone. He just always looks kinda too rumpled to me.

Anna

I got straight up toilet paper from the fabric, but yeah that grotesque bell shape is the hider part. Ah well, her face is gorgeous.

Sarah

Yes, she’s very pretty. I wish she had better makeup/hair, though.

Anna

She’s needing colour somewhere for sure. On the other hand, I find I notice her eyes more with the minimal makeup.

scoobynacks

Her “something blue” appears to be on her toes. Not the choice I’d have made at all.

NYCGlamourpuss

Yes!! Totally a toilet paper hider dress!

sojourneryouth

Looks like an Etsy dress. That fucker is totally felted-looking. Ugh!

kimmeister

Those shoes are so wrong for that dress. They look like they’re French patriotic shoes.

jspark

Easter pinata. Could have been helped with a stronger lip, but there was no saving it. Dior must you ruin ALL premiers?

demidaemon

It looks super stiff, no? Like she has absolutely no free range of movement from the bust down.

Sarah

Yep. Like she’s a feathered hand bell!

Jacob Bowen

As much as it looks a little floofy-crafty, I still kind of like her dress! I like the light blue and white horizontal stripes for giving that little bit of visual interest, but I’m not sold on the shoes with that dress. They’re for sure FIERCE but not necessarily appropriate. He on the other hand, has a good face…but that’s the only nice thing I can say. I am upset that the reviews have been SO AWFUL for this movie, because when they are THIS BAD I do actually question if I want to see it in theaters.

Alyssa

I’ve heard nothing but good things of the book, and nothing good of the movie so far. As an avid reader, I’m always bummed to hear when a book-to-movie disappoints. I’m hopeful that will not be the case with Divergent.

Sarah

The book is LONG but quite an epic, and quite a world to live in while you’re reading it. It’s the kind of book that has such larger-than-life characters that it is hard to imagine any actor being good enough to portray them on screen.

Alyssa

I’ll have to read it! I love books like that where you feel immersed in their world! But yeah, those don’t translate well into movies.

demidaemon

I generally always expect the boo-to-movie translations to disappoint. Something always gets cut or edited, and then there is casting, etc., etc.

I also had to write a paper in undergrad based off of comparing a book to its film version, and that experience always comes back to me when I see one.

Jessica Freeman

No, no you should not. Nothing like paying good money to be disappointed.

Jacob Bowen

Yeah, it is SO disappointing. Luckily Marcus theaters have $5 Tuesdays until the end of February with FREE POPCORN, so I could do it on a Tuesday and not be too worried about it not living up to expectations.

Janet B

Interesting dress, but distracting shoes.

Sobaika

She needs to punch her hair and makeup team in the face. She’s much more beautiful than this.

demidaemon

More starlets should take this advice. They would probably get better results.

SassieCassy

and good bicep muscles

Lulu

Seriously. You can’t wear a borderline avant garde dress with hair that looks like you just pulled your gym pony tail out. Do your hair for the love of all that’s holy! At least f’cryinoutloud brush it.

AnneElliot

God, yes. Lady Sybil, what have they done to you?

Mrs. Julien

She looks like a pre-Raphaelite painting.
He looks like someone in the publicity department is going to be fired for his appearance.

Jessica Freeman

You know those barbie cakes? She looks like a version of that. Very stiff. I really do not understand the shoe choice.

jw_ny

I can fore see all the jokes coming about her dress (already saw the tp one…lol) and sure, I think she looks like she’s wearing a bell…BUT…it’s really soft and pretty, and different. I love it. (dislike the blue on the shoe though)

His shirt and suit are just all kinds of wrong and ill fitting., and I hate the scruff (he still floats my boat though! 🙂 )

Alyssa

I find the dress very delicate and romantic, while strange at the same time. I wish it had gone all the way to the floor. And she needed different hair/makeup. I will take a pair of those earrings please!

Cassidy Olsen

I dig the color of his suit, but the double-breasted and shiny material…not so much. He also needs a tie. She definitely does look like a Barbie cake and I think the shape widens her, but it’s still pretty. Different shoes and better make up would help.

teensmom99

Another Downtonite who looks best in the period costumes from the show.

Rand Ortega

She has plenty to wear in this movie & she looks amazing. Like she was born especially for the era.

@Biting Panda

She’s lovey, but looking unfinished.
He’s killing me in that awful suit and sloppy shirt. I really like him. I love his interviews, and I believe he’s a fundamentally good person.
This movie looks like a syrupy steaming pile of crap, but I wish them all the best.

In re the clothes: I think her outfit is a cute look, but the head styling is DOA. Her hair needs some volume at the roots to keep from looking sort of lank – Kat Dennings has the same problem. And I continue to register my complaint of the nude-lip trend on the red carpet – this is a girl with bold features who could really rock some paint. Even just a shimmery brighter pink on the lips would have minimized the “I just finished working out, but crap I have a premiere” mismatch of the head to the rest of the look. It looks like she splashed water on her face, curled the ends of her hair, and thought, “Done.” Love love love the shoes and the pop of blue there, but they really emphasize the need for some contrast on the head to give the eye somewhere to move rather than just settling on the shoes.

On a sidenote, I never noticed before but she looks a lot like Pink, doesn’t she?

I like his suit, but the shirt doesn’t match (or fit, apparently), and he needs an entire rethink on his head as well, with a stylist to tell him to stop with the mafia waxed hair and facial scruff. He looks like he needs a bath and a good scrub. Also, with that suit, I’d have ditched the shiny black shoes and gone with something in a deep brown with a more matte finish. I don’t even know what color shirt he needs beyond not that one, but white is a good place to start. Or a light taupey beige.

See, I wouldn’t even have minded a fast and loose adaptation in the Baz Luhrmann vein, but the book seems lame.

Jen

Dislike. Her dress looks like it is made of paper mache. I’m just grateful they didn’t make JLaw wear it. And the shoes are rockstar, but totally wrong for this look. Something sexy, or ankle length ladypants would be better for those.
Is his suit green?

Danielle

She looks like a crepe paper bell at a wedding shower.

Tatiana Luján

I love her subtle makeup and the dress look beautiful on her, I wouldn’t have liked the dress on many other people. The shoes throw the look off.

boweryboy

He either needs to button up the shirt and wear a tie, or if he’s going the chest baring lothario route then starch the collar so it stands up. Also a white or chartreuse shirt would work like gangbusters here. The suit jacket is a skosh too small judging by the puckering and pulling around the button, and he could use about a 1/2 inch added on the pant hem. Overall he looks well groomed and presentable. 7 out of 10.

She is yet another House of Dior victim. The shape and length of the dress is giving her a toilet paper cozy appearance, and the color is slightly washing her out. The hair is a mess – a simple chignon is called for here, and she needs much more dramatic eye make-up and a bold lip. The earrings are nice, but a statement necklace would have been better. The shoes are all wrong – too matchy and busy, but the bold blue toe is a step in the right direction. If the shoes were solid blue it would’ve provided the pop of color this outfit desperately needs. 6 out 10.

Combined score 6.5 out of 10.

ShaoLinKitten

Were you grading him on a curve? Bruce Willis being a 10 and Justin Bieber being a 1, I’d give Colin here about a 4.

boweryboy

Most definitely. Both of them, in fact. This is the first time I’ve seen him where he doesn’t look dirty, smelly, oily, or greasy. He’s still douchey but presentable.

ShaoLinKitten

That hair sure looks greasy to me, and that suit screams “3 day bender.” I hate his facial hair too. Does he think he’s a pirate or something? LOL. We may just have to go our separate ways on this one. He always looks smelly to me.

boweryboy

I see where you’re coming from and I’m not denying those factors are there. I decided to ignore the facial hair, and I think I’m mostly blinded by how much I like the irridescence of the suit (although not on him).

How about meeting in the middle and saying he’s presentably smelly? Or acceptably douchey? Or gradiosely greasy?

ShaoLinKitten

“Acceptably douchey” is an oxymoron. I can endorse “grandiosely greasy” and add “scintillatingly sleazy.” He is a good looking man and that goes a long way, but it’s like he’s TRYING to look gross. Why, Colin, why? Why squander the gifts that an accident of DNA recombination has so benevolently granted you? Take out your earrings, wash your hair, shave, and get someone else to pick out and fit your suits. IS IT SO HARD?!

demidaemon

The answer to your last question is apparently “Yes.”

TAGinMO

SEXY BOWLING PIN

ShaoLinKitten

I’m sorry, but they both look horrible. His suit absolutely does not fit, and her make up is doing her no favors.

FrigidDiva

Whatever that dress is made out of reminds me of bird feathers, and the colors remind me of a cockatoo. He just looks terrible in that too-small-suit. Actually, his face looks great, below the neck looks like a badly dressed Bond-henchman.

Kate Andrews

She looks sorta cupcake-like. I do not like the double-breasted coat!

colleenjanel

Bridal shower pinata!

formerlyAnon

Nailed it.

Angela_the_Librarian

She looks a bit like one of those Barbie cakes (stick a doll in a cake and decorate the cake to look like a dress), but for some reason I kinda like it. His suit looks sorta green in some pictures, but black in others… Also, I wish they would stop with the constant commercials for this movie. Looks like a major snore!

Rand Ortega

Saw it Tues. A very odd, occasionally satisfying movie. There’s a bunch of cool cameos. But it pretty much lost me when I thought, why is Satan wearing a Jimi Hendrix T-Shirt in 1895? That said, 1 of 2 of Colin Ferrell’s best movies.
She’s much more enchanting a red head, IMHO. He gets less douchy with age.
ETA: Was that a spoiler? Please forgive me if it is. It really has nothing to do with the plot, I swear.

In_Stitches

I’m just glad he doesn’t have the terrible hair he’s sporting in the movie. Also think he’s pulling off the no tie look. It’s Colin Farrell, no one expects formal perfection. He only undid two buttons; I’m practically applauding the restraint.

Nancer

That dress doesn’t photograph very well, probably not the best call for a red carpet. His suit is making me laugh.

MilaXX

If this was a pairs division post I’d give them a 4.5. He’s clean, but I fear this is as good as it gets from him. That shirt is all wrong for this suit. She’s slightly better, but the shape of that dress makes her look like a toilet paper cover and the blue toes on those overly matchy shoes are distracting. Her hair looks greasy and the makeup is lacking. I guess it fits considering the movie looks 10 kinds of awful.

This dress has so much potential to be whimsical and airy, but it would need to be styled very differently to get there. And I can’t decide if the hem needs to be lower or higher to make it less awkward, or if different shoes/styling would completely take care of the apparent proportion issue…

tereliz

Dress, face, hair, they’re all just kind of “there”, huh?

Karen Tamarack

That dress is… horrible.

demidaemon

That’s a unique dress. I kind of hate it.

He looks good, though I still think the earring are wrong. They go better with this suit, though.

Shawn EH

Double-breasted, I dunno. Needed a better shirt, I want to say turtleneck, but that is just so wrong. Might also go with the earrings, though!

formerlyAnon

I’ve rarely seen so many pictures in which an actor on the red carpet just looks confused. Check his meds. Not convinced he’s so broad/deep in the chest that we can accept that the shirt buttons look about to pop and the jacket button’s feeling the strain.

I don’t actively like either her dress or her shoes. And I don’t think they go together,

luludexter

I love this dress! I don’t mind the minimal makeup because she’s so beautiful, but I do wish she’d done something different with her hair – such a dress needs a little bit more style.

quiltrx

She looks like a cotton candy princess, Colin…for fuck’s sake, IRON YOUR SHIRT AND WEAR A FUCKING TIE.
He needs to go with the floppy hair more often, like in the previews for this sticky-sweet looking movie. He’s always going to look dirty and douchey, but the hair greased back adds extra sleaze to the mix.

andi56

Jessica! Branson still misses you terribly!

LaSylphide

Colin needs a makeover. Love her dress, although it would be better an inch or two shorter. It’s nice to see a Dior that doesn’t make me laugh.
